TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – The Florida State football team will start the season ranked No. 4 in the Associated Press Preseason Top 25, which was released on Sunday. FSU checks in just behind No. 1 Alabama, No. 2 Clemson and No. 3 Oklahoma. LSU rounds out the top five, which is otherwise unchanged from that of the Amway Coaches Poll. FSU received five first-place votes, which was third most behind Alabama and Clemson.

The Seminoles are one of four teams from the Atlantic Coast Conference to make the AP Top 25. (No. 2 Clemson, No. 19 Louisville, and No. 22 North Carolina are the others.)

Florida State in 2016 will face five teams who are ranked in the preseason poll. That starts with a Labor Day meeting with No. 11 Mississippi of the Southeastern Conference, and will continue two weeks later with a visit to No. 19 Louisville.
